A lineup of all-stars at Boston Comic Con

Marvel legend Stan Lee is scheduled to appear at the 10th annual Boston Comic Con, which runs Aug. 11-13 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

Watertown actress Eliza Dushku will also be on hand to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Doctor Who” stars Karen Gillan and Matt Smith are also among about 25 celebrities scheduled to participate.

Stoughton’s Tom Sniegoski also will be holding court along Artists Alley at the annual convention at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Sniegoski wrote the best-selling, young-adult-fantasy novel series “The Fallen,” which was turned into an ABC miniseries. Sniegoski also has written for the comics “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Batman,” “Hellboy” and “Wolverine.”

A decade ago, the Boston Comic Con began as a small gathering of about 900 people in a basement at the Back Bay Events Center to New England’s biggest industry convention, where artists, vendors, anime, comic book and gaming aficionados come together to share their interests and passions.

Sadly, Boston’s own superhero studs – Chris Evans (“Captain America”) and Ben Affleck (“Batman”) will not be in attendance. Maybe next year?
